* WarIsHell: This is a major theme in ''Phoenix and Ashes'' and ''Unnatural Issue''. WWI has severe negative effects on the characters who are soldiers, as well as those on the home front. Jack in ''Steadfast'' suffers from having gone through the UsefulNotes/BoerWar and having a massive guilt complex from the massacres that went on during that.

* OurGodsAreGreater: The pagan gods of Europe are essentially very powerful and humanlike Greater Elementals. Thunderbird, from America, is also a Great Air Elemental. Meanwhile, the Hindu deities seen in ''The Serpent's Shadow'' are ''not'' elementals, and appear to be linked to the Spirit element, and share more characteristics with the Christian {{God}}. God Himself hasn't personally shown up yet, though beings implied to be angels have, and holy Christian objects are [[HolyHandGrenade extremely lethal against evil beings]].

Added DiffLines:

* BarefootPoverty: A sign of the Joneses' poverty is that Anna has never owned a pair of shoes in her life. In winter, she just wrapped her feet in rags and never went out. The only exception was to attend the church Christmas party, at which point Anna wore her mother's old shoes and her mother wore her father's shoes.


Added DiffLines:

* NiceToTheWaiter: When Ninette is masquerading as Nina, she copies the behavior of La Augustine (the etoile of the Paris Opera Ballet) except when it comes to interactions with those lower in station to her. Ninette is friendly and nice to her maid Ailse, and treats the stagehands well (to the point that she's spent time and money distributing little favors among them). It's noted that while some acts have come through the theatre acting like they were royalty, she ''doesn't'' act like that, but is instead polite and fair to everyone.

** In rural Germany and Eastern Europe, most magicians don't interact much with each other, but every magician knows a few others and the location of the local Brüderschaft lodge: {{Uberwald}} is too dangerous for a Magician to go completely solo. The Brüderschaft itself is a loose collection of lodges who [[WhoYaGonnaCall deal with monsters and Dark Magicians]]; the usual practice is to send out a Hunt Master and have them gather the local talent to help with the Hunts.

** In ''Jolene'', protagonist Anna May and her beloved Josh agree to 'start courting' after meeting all of twice. In this case, Anna May's Aunt Jinny (backed by Josh's parents) insists that since Anna May is only sixteen and Josh is literally the first man to show mutual interest in her, they have to wait until Anna May's eighteen to marry. [[spoiler: Anna May and Josh marry just a few months later, but it's part of a ploy to keep Anna May being indentured.]]
